​Greenpeace strikes again with ‘Glacier Republic’!

Still licking its wounds after Russia called its bluff when the crew of its vessel ‘Arctic Sunrise’ tried to storm a Russian oil rig in the Arctic Ocean last year, Greenpeace is now back in the news, albeit on the other side of the world.

This time they have unleashed their escapades on the South
American Republic of Chile.

As their Chilean branch reports, Greenpeace has just founded a
brand new ‘republic’ inside Chile’s territory, which
they have decided to call ‘Glacier
Republic’. Yet another illegitimate attack on national
sovereignty, always hiding behind its allegedly noble intentions
of “protecting the environment.”

Polar wars

In an article published on RT on December 19, 2013, we
described some of the less reported behind-the-scenes
geopolitical aspects referring to the Arctic Warrior affair.

Readers will remember that things did not go quite well for
Greenpeace because the Russian government’s reaction was balanced
and legal under international law and focused on enforcing
Russia’s sovereign rights: they immediately arrested the vessel
and its crew of 30 eco-militants accusing them of piracy. Three
months later, however, and right before Christmas 2013 Russia set
them all free, allowing them to go back home.

It seems Greenpeace’s mischief planning team - always allied to
British and US global geopolitical objectives and interests - has
now come up with another little surprise.

Only this time it’s not making SWAT-like attacks on an off-shore
oil rig. Rather, it’s doubled its bet by attacking the very
concept of national sovereignty – a permanent priority of the
UK-US-led Global Power Masters – by announcing that it’s
founded…. a totally new ‘sovereign nation’ inside the
territory of Chile!

‘Glacier Republic’

The Chilean people found out about this on March 5, when this
militant lobbying organization informed on its website that
“…today we have given birth to a new country in territory not
recognized by Chile thanks to a legal loophole. ‘Glacier
Republic’ is the name of this new nation.”

In a full-page ad published in The New York Times that same day,
Greenpeace explained that “these glaciers do not belong to
the State, nor to the Chileans; these glaciers belong to
nobody.” Its headline title read: “Birth of an Ice
Nation: Greenpeace declares the Glacier Republic in Chile.”
In this way, Greenpeace tried to justify their usurping,
insolent, illegal and criminal actions of attacking the national
sovereignty of the Republic of Chile.

“…in Chile there is a legal loophole that does not recognize
these huge ice masses as part of its sovereignty. Neither the
Constitution, nor the water code mention glaciers as public goods
that need to be protected actively,”explained
Matías Asún, Greenpeace director for Chile.

Greenpeace says that their militants have planted flags in the
ice of Chile’s glaciers, explaining that the country amounts to
around 23,000 km², which constitutes 82 percent of the entire
glacial mass of South America.

All of this happened just a few days before Chilean President
Michelle Bachelet was inaugurated for a second term in office. In
order to ensure the message got through loud and clear, on March
13 Greenpeace’s Spanish-language website issued a new bulletin
saying that “this morning a diplomatic mission from Glacier
Republic went to the Moneda Presidential Palace [in Santiago] to
present its credentials to the President of Chile. We visited the
Palacio de la Moneda, representing almost 40.000 citizens of
Glacier Republic.”

Argentina

This so-called “diplomatic” delegation from “Glacier
Republic” also stopped by the embassy of the neighboring
Republic of Argentina, to submit their “credentials”
there as well.

In truth, one cannot not expect anything less from UK lobbyists
Greenpeace, considering that the entire southern part of South
America, shared by Chile and Argentina - collectively known as
Patagonia – is immensely rich in natural resources and thus very
high on Britain’s, America’s and Israel’s territorial takeover
priority list. The elites’ agenda has put its eye on Patagonia
since at least the end of the 19th century.

This includes not just Patagonia’s vast land mass – glaciers and
all – but, just as important, its huge geostrategic zone of
influence lying on both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, a
stone’s throw from Antarctica, and in particular the ‘Sea of
Argentina’ as the shallow Atlantic Ocean continental shelf
is called. Here lie the Falkland/Malvinas Islands, usurped by
Britain over 180 years ago and over which Argentina and the UK
fought a brief war in 1982. After winning that war, Britain built
a strong nuclear military presence.

It is thus no surprise that Greenpeace should have chosen the New
York Times as its high-profile global mainstream media spokesman
to announce the birth of its bastard Glacier Republic.

When Argentina was in the throes of its blackest economic,
financial, political and social crisis in modern history and
defaulted on its public debt, the New York Times promptly
published an article whose title said it all: “Some in
Argentina see secession as the answer to economic peril”,
recommending that five Patagonian provinces should secede from
the rest of Argentina.

The crisis that hit Argentina at the end of 2001 was for the most
part orchestrated by then-President Fernando de la Rúa and
Economy Minister Domingo Cavallo to benefit global banksters.
Both are members of the global One-World think-tank network,
always bent on imposing World Government upon mankind.

De la Rúa is a founding member of the local CARI - Consejo
Argentino para las Relaciones Internacionales - which in practice
operates as local branch for the powerful New York-based Council on Foreign
Relations; whilst Cavallo is a member of the Trilateral
Commission; both think-tanks are fully aligned with
Rockefeller/Rothschild global interests.

Like a junk-food combo

The brand new Glacier Republic lures its prospective future
“citizens” by offering them an attractive
“foundational package,” very similar in concept to fast
junk food restaurant combos: a sort of geopolitical ‘burger
with chips and Coke’.

At least that’s what can be gathered from Greenpeace’s website
announcement to all of Glacier Republic’s new-born
‘citizens’, who are offered a ‘passport’ that
is delivered to their homes; a national ‘flag’ they can
fly on their rooftops that carries three pyramid-like triangle
symbol - allegedly a symbol for the Andes mountains (or of a
coming ‘Andinia’, perhaps?) and blue in color, which is
also strange when you consider that Chile’s flag is red, white
and blue. Finally, wannabe ‘Glacierians’ are invited to
fill in a ‘form’ with their personal data.

New ‘Glacierian’ citizens also learn that Glacier
Republic just issued its ‘declaration of independence’,
and are thus invited to pledge allegiance to their new
place-under-the-sun by repeating these solemn words: “I swear
to God and to this flag that I will serve my fatherland, the
Glacier Republic, at sea, on land, or anywhere else, offering my
very life, if necessary, and to do my duty as an honest,
courageous country-loving citizen.” No, don’t laugh: this is
literally what their Spanish-language Website says.

Glacier Republic has already opened embassies in the 40 countries
where Greenpeace have offices; “the idea is to spread a
message to the whole world on the need to protect glaciers and
generate the necessary power to ensure a glacier protection law
is passed in Chile,” said Chile director, Mr. Asún.

In addition, on March 12, Greenpeace issued a further bulletin
informing that Apostolic Vicar-Bishop of the Chilean town of
Aysén, Father Luis Infanti de la Mora, just became a new
‘citizen’ of Glacier Republic, adding that “Bishop
Infanti is an active citizens’ rights activist leader who stated
that he agreed with the need for Chile to sanction glacier
protection legislation, and then swore allegiance to the new
republic.”

It would no doubt be interesting to hear with the Vatican has to
say about one of its priests supporting gross territorial
intrusion against the national sovereignty of a country that has
deep historical Catholic roots, as is the case of the Republic of
Chile.

Legal bases

In order to justify this latest maneuvering promoting the
interests and objectives of the One-World clique, Greenpeace
explains that “the founding of Glacier Republic is genuine
and is based on the ‘Convention for the Rights and Duties of
Nation States’, also known as the ‘Montevideo Convention’,
an international treaty signed in Montevideo, Uruguay, on 26th
December 1933 during the Seventh International Conference of
American States.

“Said Convention established the definition of ‘State’, as
well as its corresponding rights and duties. The best known
conceptual definition was expressed under its Article 1, which
established four criteria that are characteristic of a Nation
State, that are recognized under international law.

“The State is thus an entity under international law that
brings together the following necessary characteristics:

I. A permanent population;

II. A specific territory;

III. Government; and

IV. The capacity to enter into relationships with other
Nation-States.”

Thus, as part of its maneuvering against the national sovereignty
of Chile, Greenpeace tells the world that “our activists have
been inhabiting different glaciers in that country, and we have
already proclaimed our founding of it as a sovereign and peaceful
republic. Very soon, we shall be opening embassies in Chile and
throughout the world, and we are inviting people to become
citizens of Glacier Republic.”

Taking a cool and pragmatic stance, one can say with little or no
doubt that this latest charade by Greenpeace will come to
nothing. The same as with Argentina’s Patagonia territory that
has not (yet!) seceded from the Argentine Republic, as The New
York Times suggested back in August 2002.

However, we must keep in mind that the global elites operate on a
long-term basis to achieve their goals. This was eloquently
explained in an article, ‘The hard road to world order’,
published back in April 1974 in Foreign Affairs, the official
journal of the CFR, in which they suggested that National
Sovereignty should be eroded and destroyed “piece by
piece” rather than going for the more antiquated and highly
visible “head-on attack.”

Forty years on, it would seem that this discreet, disperse,
extensive and unflinching process whereby national sovereignty is
deconstructed “piece by piece” is in full swing.

It is clearly high time for Chileans and Argentinians to awaken
to the external challenges and dangers facing both countries and
to start working together to defend their respective sovereign
territories against common enemies.
